Founded in 1908 by two men who created brochures falsely depicting the town as an elegant , established municipality, even the origin of Boise City offers an intriguing narrative. Though the developers were sent to prison for fraud, the population grew and eventually transformed the barren land into the lively neighborhood it was originally said to be.
